I'm an Aussie Mixer, Engineer and Music Producer based in London, UK. I specialize in popular music genres, rock, pop, hip hop, soul and electronic music, but have also mixed for classical, opera, jazz, funk, blues and folk outfits.

I've worked as an audio professional for over 13 years, and in that time I've been had the privilege to work on Gold Selling recording in Australia from the likes of Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, Floating Me, COG and Birds of Tokyo. I've also been a staff engineer at Oaklands Productions, and had my own mix room in the renowned Sing Sing Recording Studios in Melbourne.

I've always enjoyed working on varying styles of music, and I pride myself on delivering a mix that goes above and beyond expectations. I've been told I'm very easy to work with; I'm also extremely motivated and I work hard to get the best results on every project I work on.

As an artist, your fear in the studio is an engineer that doesn't understand your vision or is not invested in the project. It's not an easy ask. We worked with Prasheen on numerous records over the years and his passion for his craft, technical ability to help see the vision through, and ear for production made it a brilliant experience. He was as invested as we were and felt like part of the group. The vibe in the studio was always great.
With an incredible wealth of technical knowledge and a fantastic musical sense, Prasheen is a brilliant recording, mix and mastering engineer.

Top engineer, top mixer, and an absolute top bloke. I've had the pleasure of working with Prasheen numerous times over the years, tracking, producing, mixing and also mastering. No matter what style of band/project I have going on, he is my first call.

His calm and warm personality encourages a comfortable and inspiring time whilst tracking & is cool team player in a mixing session.

Interview with Prasheen Naran

Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Turn off your screen every once in a while and just listen, it can be distracting.
